Mötley Crüe

To Beatrice. Vanity was not in Purple Rain. That was Appolonia. A common mistake a lot of people make

Nikki Sixx got his name from one of his ex-girlfriend's ((ex))boyfriend's name. His name was Nikki Syxx. Nikki couldn't decide what he wanted his name to be and he thought that ((quote))Nikki Seven is just not a cool name((quote)). Nikki ((Sixx not Syxx)) decided to just go with the word 'six' and add another 'x'. He said that he loved the guy's name but the guy was totally uncool.

Nikki was seven years old when he first smoked pot. He was with his mother at the time.

Nikkis father died on Christmas day, when he was in the shower and had a heart attack.

Nikkis mothers boyfriend was taking a bath in the bathroom, Nikki was brushing his teeth from side to side instead of up and down like the boyfriend had taught him. The boyfriend got out of the tub and went over to Nikki and punched him on the side of his face knocking him to the ground. Nikki said that because of the boyfriend, he brushes from side to side everyday.

Tommy Lee's first tattoo was Mighty Mouse crashing through a bass drum set. This tattoo is located on his right shoulder.

The bands first gig was at the 'Whisky A Go Go'

Vince Neil lives in Las Vegas, Nevada off of the street, Tropicana.

When Vince was a teenager, he would go to skating rinks and compete in lip-sinking contests and would win every time. Vince and his buddies would go out of town to go to these competitions and Vince slowly realized that he was actually singing the songs- and singing them good. That is what gave him an interest in music.

When Mick Mars was perscribed medicine for his back pain and started to hallucinate. He called his doctor and the doctor said that it would soon go away- but it didn't and Mick was soon seeing his footprints ((they weren't there)) He saw them in a glowing orange color on the ground. He also saw ghosts. The doctor said to keep taking it to see if the strange side effects went away. Mick decided to quit taking it right away.

i have been reading alot of post,and not one post gets in the "dark' side of nikki and robyn crosby of ratt. they were best friends for many years and im sure they had to have groupies and other excesses together. my couriosity is taking me to other places.robyn found out he had hiv,he said he was pretty sure he got it while on tour. and he is pretty sure he got it from drugs.my thing here is you never here nikki talking about his health, im pretty sure he has hep.c... they even took vacation together,2 junkies together is bad. i bet alot of rock stars now wish they never did what they did,while on tour.when you do not have your health you have nothing ,no matter how rich you are.

For all of you Crue fans, I wanna say that you know what real rock n roll is. I'm a drummer and I've been a Crue fan for over 4 years and I have never liked a band so much in my life. Keep rockin yall, and remember, I'm the next Tommy Lee.

To clear some things up. Nikki and Donna are divorced now. The divorced was finalized back in June of this year. Donna filed for divorce last year. Looks like some of you people don't watch Vh1 or E! or read anything over at Nikki's website. I just wanted to clear that up and if that doesn't clear it up just google it. :-D

Nikki Sixx used to date Vanity the used to be actress turned preacher,who co-starred with singer
Prince,in the movie 'Purple Rain'.It was said that she was with him during his overdose,anyways the relatonship ened shortly after that. The roman numeral 6 that he has tattoed on his arm,was at first just the letter V,he had it tattoed for Vanity to show his love for her,for sticking by his side after his overdose.But after they broke-up,he had it changed to VI,and went on adding more tats!

Ok in reply to the comment bands such as KISS, Alice Cooper and Van Halen would have died out(and occurding to this twit have) This is totally untrue. KISS were one of Nikki's biggest influences, They toured with them and Van Halen. Look at Motleys stage show, heavily based on KISS and Alice Coopers influences. Nikki considers Alice Cooper to be a god. And Funnily Enough KISS still sell out their world tours and are currently planning another one. Alice Cooper just finished a sold out world tour and Van Halen are touring next year with David Lee Roth on the mic and I promise you that wont fail to sell out world wide either. So before you say KISS, Van Halen and Alice Cooper are dead think about it, there is no Motley Crue without such bands to influence them, and these bands will forever sell out tours u douche.

Motley Crue Rocksss!!!!!!!

aerosmiths song dude looks like a lady was inspired by vince neil, when steve taylor saw him with some girls in a bar and wondered how he got so many girls when he looked like one himself.

Is it true that Aerosmith's "Dude Looks Like a Lady" was written about Vince?

I saw them on October 2 of this year (2006). Mick actually looked better than I would have thought, he was working his way around the stage really well. They performed great, and it was Tommy's birthday so when Aerosmith came on they gave him a birthday cake and he played drums for them on a song (Can't remember which one...that was a loong night lol)

Mick Mars is by far one of the funniest people I have ever met. His attitude is generally upbeat and always crackin jokes. He definitely does not act as if he is "dead" and for a guy who lives with that pain of what he has, he does good just to get out of the house on a daily basis nevermind playing motley crue tours...STILL!! To see Mick still out there, not battling thru it, but conquering it, is truly inspirational and the farthest thing from "sad".

Nikki Sixx and Donna D'Errico are divorced

Nikki Sixx's real name is Franklin Feranna NOT Ferrano!! PEOPLE, ITS IN THE DIRT (the best book ever written...that and Tommyland!!)!!!!

Actually...Donna filed for divorce to Nikki recently. He says that he'd really like people to respect her privacy though so I'm not gonna say any more.

The only reason that Mick Mars walks around like a hunchback is because his spine is slowly bringing him to the ground. He has a diesease, ankyolosing spondylitis, which grows between bones and joints making them stiff. ITS IN THE FREAKIN BOOK PEOPLE!!!

Nikki is 47 and will be 48 in December of this year (2006).

Doggone it, Mick Mars's face is shriveled up like a dead fish and he slaunts around like a hunchback.

nikki sixx is 47 not 48

motley crue is the best band ever!!!they rock!!!!

Motley Crue's autobiography, The Dirt, is one of the coolest books ive ever read. You should read it.

Axl will take him!

what about when vince called out axl rose to a fight? that was some good news

The lyrics "Frankie died just the other night" are not about Nikki changing his name. He tried to kill himself. Then wrote the song after the fact.

I wondered about it for several years, when I met him I asked him.

nikki sixx is 48 and he still is a total babe. I wonder if Donna D'Errico is still pretty. Well anyway peice out (hey nikki your lucky to be 48 and still hot!)

Nikki Sixx is HOT!! Beautiful teeth and mouth, nice legs and butt, great tat's on the arms, beautiful eyes with or without the thick black eyeliner....I just wanted to get htat out in the open.

Tommy Lee was married to a girl from Vancouver. Her name is Elaine Starchuk. She was in Penthouse Magazine in the 80's. They were married for 3 months in 1984. People mistook her for Elaine Irwin who was married to John Cougar Mellancamp.

Hey, I knew all of these guys back in the day when RAT was the opening act. I was there for Nikki's 25 birthday,back when shows were general admission and the partying went from the stage to the floor and then to the dressing room. I remember when Nikki decided to try and see life from both earth and the here after. He in fact was dead but was revived, went back out and did it all over, just to come around and find the needle still in his arm. As for Tommy Lee, best drummer around, has some of the most fantastic moves any drummer could do - has always had a temper. Vince has had his fair share of misfortune, his daughter being the worst - I think he actually grew up then. Mick - Mick is just Mick.

The is a lot of mis-information here. First: Nikkin and Donna did not divorce they separated only to reconcile shortly afterward. They did not mainline Tequila it was Jack Daniels. Mick Mars changed his name because he did not like his initials of BAD- Bob Allen Deal. Tommy and Vince did not get along because of Vinces drinking while Tommy was going through Pamela issues. They also had issues related to general band tension, NOT because Vince said he was with Pamela. Vince to this day says he was not intimate with her. Nikki was not married to Donna a month after his divorce. He dated several women prior to Donna. Brandy and Nikki were in fact divorced, it was the custody issues that caused them to be in court when Donna and Nikki started to date, not marry.

It is completely ridiculous to think the Crue is in ANY way responsible for anyone doing drugs. There were drugs before them and certainly in their haitus. Motley was focused on about their drug use because they didn't care if people knew. They were not any different from any other bands drug use at the time or today, they just talked about it.

Please read The Dirt, this will elivate any other untrue stories.

Tommy Lee was never married to Elaine Irwin. This is false information that I have seen all over the Net. He WAS married to a Penthouse Pet for one month. Her real name was Elaine, but she performed/posed as Candace. The marriage was annulled after one month; Tommy has said she and his mother hated each other. Donna D'Errico and Nikki Sixx separated in 2001 but later got back together and they are not divorced. Vince Neil recently married longtime girlfriend Lia Gerardini. He has also been married to Beth Lynn, Sharise Ruddell (mother of Skylar), and Heidi Mark.

Also Bob Deal's (AKA Mick Mars) birthyear is 1951.
http://www.motley.com/Band/Mick.html
Everywhere else on the net mistakenly says 1956.
He looks terrible (dead) and acts out of it (dead). Sad. Makes Ozzy look decent.

Motley Crue members are NOT sober. Neil still gets drunk and assasults everyone at his solo shows (after singing terribly). Tommy said in a recent interview that he still likes booze and sex. Probably the others as well.

Nikki Sixx actually "sotle" his name from one of his ex-girlfriend's ex-boyfriends. He said the guy wasnt cool enough to have a name like Nikki Sixx and claimed the name for his own.

Skylar Lynnae Neil died at age four on August 15, 1995 of cancer.

Hey Mike Howell! The Surreal Life's first season, the one Vince Neil was on, origionally was on the WB. VH1 picked up the show the second season.

Vince Neil did appear on the Surreal Life, but it was on VH1, not the WB.

First I am not the "Holy Roller" that beleives that world is coming to an end, and I love music especially good rock. And I can really jam to alot of the Crue, BUT I dont feel sorry for them because of their dramatic lives like many people seem to.
They have taken the life of another very good band member, they have shown many kids the life of drugs and irrisponsibility. Think of the people that are on drugs because of Crue, Somebody said what the world would be like without crue, the crue started the largest drug in history.
I have hung out with Vince Neil after a show in a bar and he is serious alcoholic with lots of issues, I like his music but he is not my Idol in this life or the next.

Motley Crue are great. Without them there would never have been a Guns N' Roses, Poison, Winger, RATT, Nelson, W.A.S.P., Danmger Danger or Bon Jovi, and old bands like KISS, Van Halen and ALice Cooper wuld probably have faded away into oblivion. Hey, wait a minute.......

More on Nikki Sixx's revival: according to an interview on VH1, the EMT's that came for him after his lethal heroin overdose declared him dead and did not bother to revive him; one of them, however, was a Motley Crue fan and suggested they try to revive him.

We met Nikki Sixx this past Thursday in Hawaii at a resort in Waikaloa. We were sitting by the pool next to him - he was composing lyrics for a new song. A very nice guy!!!! He was there with his wife and 5 children.

Motley Crue > Quiet Riot.

Sixx overdosed on Heroin and was D.O.A. When Sixx was released he went home cooked some more up, shot up and passed out. He later woke up with the needle still in his arm, and a puddle of blood in his palm. He knew right them he had to quit.

A charity concert in honor of Skylar Neil occurs every year around June-July at the Whiskey-A-Go-Go in Hollywood, CA. Titled Crüefest, the concert brings ten Garage Bands, who are required to play at least one Mötley Crüe tune. They come from all over The United States to play all day and offer all proceeds to the Skylar Neil Foundation. Find more information at http://www.cruefest.com/

Vince Neil's daughter, Skylar, died of cancer. I believe she was four. VERY VERY sad. He wrote Skylar's Song for her.

Nikki Sixx and Donna D'Errico are not divorced.
The song "On with the Show" was written when Nikki killed Frank. (He changed his name from Frank to Nikki Sixx the line says "Frankie died just the other night some say it was suicide"
Vince's daughter did not die from Leukemia. Randy Castillo who played drums for a short time with the crue died in 2002 after a battle with cancer.
Nikki's father betrayed his mother by naming him Frank Ferrano Jr. Nikki later had his name legally changed to Nikki Sixx.
mick mars real name is Bob Deal
Vince Neil is Vince Neil Whorton
and Tommy Lee is Tommy Lee Bass
vince neil became interested in music when he broke his leg and couldnt surf anymore. He began lip synching at skating rinks and went from there.
